In the Empire of the Rising Sun ...

... nothing stops you from admiring the sunset especially when you can do it standing on the 45th level of the Tokyo Metropolitan Government featuring, as a guest star, Mount Fuji. Since our arrival, we have been able to not get lost in an extremely complex public transport network, to assimilate multiple functions and yet awesome Japanese toilets (heated seat, music, integrated water jet, etc.) and to familiarize ourselves with the basics of Japanese language. Despite a permanent state of turmoil, we are impressed by the tranquility in the Japanese capital - except maybe these weird casinos, noisy and smoky, in which players have replaced the chips with small steel balls : the famous "Pachinko" - as well as the cleanliness that reigns supreme in this megalopolis. Two observations which could partly explain the famous "Paris Syndrome".
